Memo to Universities, athletic directors, coaches, and players, and… Reporters: “Watch how you make your beds, for you will lay in it.” There is yet another appropriate adage: “The grass is no greener on the other side of the street.” U of L, Jurich (the U of L Athletic Director), Pitino, and all other coaches and ADs who are looking for changes: pay attention to the latter adage.

What is the university’s job? It’s not to make coaches and ADs rich; it’s to educate men and women.

And as for Charlie Strong, he said this after he left, in Texas: “This is the best of the best.”  Now does he know what the best is? Some upstate college in NY could be best of the best. A little college in North Dakota might be the best of the best. Who knows what the best of the best is?

Next week, we’ll see how things play out. I’ll have more to say soon.
